Nursing Home Communities in Middletown, CT

"Pomperaug Woods was very nice and very friendly, but they were a little bit expensive. It was independent living, but they also have assisted living. The staff was very good. They have artists, composers, and very highly intelligent people living there. They have a varied program of things. A resident moved their own grand piano in there and would practice the piano during the day. It was all interactive. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to explain all about the people that were living there, the artwork hanging on the wall, and what artists did it. The facility was very nice. It's all one level. They have an outdoor court, and when it's nice weather, they hold all the concerts out there. They had the Blue River Jazz Band there. It's top-notch entertainment."

"With this website, I have learned about the elderly and how the system really works with and sometimes against them. Currently I have an aunt in a nursing home facility and it seems its working well for her and our family at this time. "

"One Macdonough Place was a really good place. I stayed there overnight. The room was very comfortable, and the place was well cared for. I had an extraordinary lunch of a lobster roll for lunch. They had a chef who will make you custom food if you want it. That was quite a place. The staff went out of their way to make sure I got there safely, and they constantly checked on me to make sure I was comfortable. They couldn't have been better. They provided movies in your room or downstairs. There were some people playing board games, and they had a very comfortable room with newspapers. They also had a room where you can get coffee and snacks 24 hours a day."

"I thought Apple Rehab Middletown was clean and well-managed. The rooms are very nice, everybody seems to be up and about, active, and they get everybody ready for the day. They have routines. They have mainly physical therapy. They offer all three meals. They’re all compassionate people."

"I visited Luther Ridge with my son. It was very nice. The people were nice. They have lots of things to do. They have things that older people would enjoy doing. They have a bus that takes you where you want to go. I thought Luther Ridge was very nice except for the fact that the rooms were small. "

"My mom has been in Portland Care & Rehabilitation Center. I really like it because she was in another rehab facility a couple of years ago, and it was horrible, and the staff is very caring here and they are treating her so well. She has therapy twice a day in the morning, and then in the afternoon OT and PT. They have a weekly schedule of bingo, cards, games, trivia, and all those kinds of things. Tomorrow, she said they're going to have mass and the stations of the cross, which is very important to her. They do the rosary every other week and she's a religious person, so that's important to her. The staff is very nice. When she pushes that call button, they're there, whereas at the other place, she waited half an hour before somebody got there. It's a smaller place, and the staff seems very, very attentive. They're very friendly. Everybody from the cleaning people, to the nurses, to PT, to the aides, everyone is very friendly, they treat my mom like a queen. Every day, the cleaning lady comes in and wipes everything down, like the floors and all the surfaces. It's very clean. It could use a tiny bit of updating, the furniture is little bit old, but I'd rather have older furniture and go to help than it being fancy and lousy help. My mom said the food is fair. They seem to have a lot of activities. They went outside and she was happy with that. They have stuff but she doesn't go to some of it because she is tired in the afternoon. Insurance is paying, so it's worth it to me."

"We (family) are grateful to this nursing home. They have been very attentive to our request for my sisters care by providing information on her well being, assist with requesting special medical apparatus for her rehabilitation and other medical needs. "

"I was at Autumn Lake Healthcare at Cromwell's rehab for one week. I was an unhappy camper. I think nobody likes rehab because it's uncomfortable, and they have uncomfortable beds and crappy food, but they were perfectly nice here. I just wanted to go home. The staff members were good. They were all very pleasant. I was lucky that my room was private. It was a little bit homey and wasn't that institutional. I was there to do rehab every day as they were trying to get my strength back. That was the whole purpose of it. I had physical therapy every day; they brought me down to the gym for that, and they did a great job. I think they showed movies and had events that went on during the week, too, but it was not my cup of tea, so I didn't go."

"My daughter is in Apple Rehab Cromwell for rehab. They are well-equipped and staffed. She's in a private room. They have a dining hall and activity room. It's an older building. The staff is fine."

"We looked at Connecticut Baptist Homes. We're on the waiting list for my mom. It was very clean. The residents looked as if they were well cared for. It was staffed well. It was easy to get off the highway to visit. The activities seemed like they were interesting for the patients. The person who took us around was very informative and caring. They have patios to sit outside. They have different grades of care that they offer. They have a little bit of extensive care, and then they have care when you don't need as much, but you still need to be there for safety reasons. You have to be a little bit more independent to go to one of the floors. Each floor had their own kitchen where you could make things for yourself, and there was like a kitchen for snacks and stuff, so they have something where you can get something to eat when it's not mealtime."

"My dad was there recovering from cancer surgery Staff was wonderfull and facility was very clean I was very pleased with the care and services Everyone went out of their way to be helpful I would highly recommend "

"We had an amazing experience at Complete Care Meriden. The room was brand new and very clean. The staff went over and above to make sure my mother was clean and comfortable. They made us feel like family. The staff made sure my mother was included in all the activities when she was able. I would highly recommend this facility! Great care givers and nice rooms. I felt very comfortable having my mother stay there."

"It is now Meriden Health and Rehab. Its dirty falling apart. Cant get any real employees the get staff from a pool they dont care and sit in the break room mostly. Sad when .residents need things for health care they always say we cant we cant that.. staff rarely calls you back. Dont send anyone there."

"Ledgecrest Health Care is old, but the staff is outstanding. I like the people the most. They do activities mostly during the day. Overall, they've been great."
